Trump's new definitions face scrutiny after tariffs rejection
The customs duties imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump on more than 80 countries, covering 99.4% of U.S. trade, are facing significant legal challenges. The first lawsuit against them has been filed, arguing that their use of Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 goes beyond its original purpose and nearly restores the previously repealed global tariff system. The lawsuit states that the Trump administration used this section unlawfully to impose permanent tariffs, which could lead to their annulment in court—especially given that the Supreme Court previously struck down broad tariffs based on the law it upheld. This comes at a time when legal disputes over the legitimacy of these tariffs are escalating, with legal arguments suggesting they may be overturned, while experts expect companies to continue planning based on the current situation.
